You Are a Target

Today more than 40 people were killed in a mortar attack in Mogadishu.

With a wheezing sound
A ball glowed in the air
It was a mortar bomb
Fired by an opponent
To destroy an enemy
But unluckily landed
On innocent civilians

The Somali civil war
Is unique in its own way
Nobody is spared from the spear
No one is indeed out of harm
Whether armed or unarmed
He or she is a prime target
And the world is watching
Not stopping this madness

Abdinoor, you are indeed a voice for the voiceless. These attrocities are sponsored not just by individuals and tribes, but also by nation states.

Thank you for this insight and plea for peace. Please stay safe with your lovely young family.

Abdi Noor, please be careful! Your country needs those like you to get the story out, in hopes something can be done by someone!But you must take special care in aimless warfare...

The worlds isn't watching because CNN think that corner of the world no news worthy.
An the world's leaders don't care because Somalia hasn't no oil to steal or a government to bribe for wathever they had left.
It is a long list of ignored nations.
Too bad.

I wonder if this the only culture that Islam has to offer to the world. Where is the human conscience of the Western and other journalists, who bring every night to our living rooms, dreadful scenes of dead or wounded children, without even mentioning the atrocity of the parents who allow that their children take part in acts of violence. We can only write and pray.

Far too much suffering, far too much madness, in a very bloody world, in which far too few even seem to care.

It's always the innocent who suffer, Abdi-Noor...pain, excellently expressed.

(((HUGS))), love and prayer, Karla.
